So if I understand it correctly Toronto will be the #8 seed and go to Tampa unless they win, and the Yankees lose.  Then Toronto would be the 5 seed and play the AL Central runner-up, and the Yankees would be the 8 seed.

Marlins just went up 3-0 on the Yankees.

Heyman on MLB seeing highlight of Toronto up 1 and Yankees down 3 just said "bring on Yankees-Rays" 1st round.

Great play by Villar.

Defensive clinic thus far in this game.

Going to miss watching O's baseball for the next 6 months, even if these games are "meaningless".

I think the season is ending at a good point for O's fans.  We had the early season success by the guys that aren't pieces of the future and then the debut of some kids that did well despite the team playing poorly.  But we haven't seen enough losing to really sour things.

So much for that. That was an adventure for Grichuk.

Tigers tied 1-1 in the 5th

Red Sox tied 1-1 after 2

Arizona up 2-0 in the third.

Add in that they may have done just the right amount of losing to goose the draft position, and the season definitely feels successful even if the record isn't great.

Can feel good about Mountcastle and Santander, cautiously optimistic about Stewart, Hays, Means, and the young pitching, and no major disaster holes like last year at shortstop.

No shutdown inning for Akin.

If they would combine the 2019=2020 records for the draft it would almost perfect.

Akin finishes the season with two poor starts.

Is Grichuk always this bad a CF?  I know he's played quite a bit of corner OF too

Have we won any games against the Blue Jays this year?
